Powell dominant for Devils

The West Lincoln Rebels fell to Newton-Conover 88-54 Tuesday night.
Clemson-signee Julius Powell was the main reason why. The 6â€™8â€ player had five dunks and was accurate behind the three-point arc on his way to a game-high 27 points.
â€œHeâ€™s a great player. Obviously, he exerted himself tonight and proved to be unstoppable force for us,â€ Rebelsâ€™ head coach Chad Wright said.
Wright, who felt his team was dominated on the boards and in transition, is hoping for a better game Friday as they host Lincolnton.
â€œI would expect our ball club to be focused on doing things the right way and also be prepared to be competitive in Fridayâ€™s ball game. If we do those things, then I think weâ€™ll have a shot.â€
West Lincoln lost in the first meeting to Lincolnton. According to Wright, thatâ€™s when the Wolves were starting to find their rhythm.
â€œThey were starting to play good basketball. They executed really well for Coach Cowie and played with great poise. Anytime, you play Lincolnton, you can expect them to handle the ball really well and take high-percentage shots and do a good job of limiting their mistakes on the floor,â€ he said.
â€œIn all the times, Iâ€™ve watched Lincolnton play, one thing they have not done is beat themselves,â€ he added.
The Rebels fall to 3-16 and 1-8 in the Midwest 2A on the season. Newton-Conover is third in the MW 2A with a 7-2 mark.
